It’s amazing to me how different we are when it comes to socializing and friendship. Some people tend to have a lot of active friendships and socialize constantly, whereas others shy away from social activities and maintain only one or two close friendships. Neither one of these types of people is better than the other, but it illustrates peoples’ different needs.

Today, I ask you to consider the role that friendship plays in your daily life. How important is friendship to you? Friends are unique because we’re connected to our family by blood and our spouses by law, but our friendships are created by choice. This notion brings to mind another interesting thought: Do you tend to choose your friends or do they tend to choose you?
